About this study
Official title: An Investigation Of The Relationship Between Day Surgery Nurses' Perception Of Safety Culture And Patients' Level Of Feeling Safe During Surgery
This study will be conducted to determine the relationship between the perception of safety culture among healthcare professionals working in an outpatient surgical unit and the level of safety patients feel during surgery performed under local anesthesia.
The study population consists of healthcare professionals (N = 140) working in the Day Surgery Unit of Bursa Uludağ University Faculty of Medicine Hospital and patients undergoing procedures. The sample size calculation for the healthcare professionals to be included in the study was determined using the known population sampling method. Using the Raosoft sampling method, with a 5% margin of error and a 95% confidence interval, the minimum required sample size (n) was calculated to be 103. It was decided that the study would include healthcare professionals and patients in a 1:1 ratio. Therefore, the total sample size was calculated to be 206.
Data will be collected using the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (Version 2.0) and the Feeling Safe During Surgery Scale.
